A New system to be observed at the
NextTerm of the District Court.


AT the May term of the district court a
new regime will be followed. When the
cases are set for that term, instead of two
or three cases a day on the calendar, double
that number will be set for each day. In
order to attend to this business two judges
and two juries will be kept busy trying the
Jury cases. BY this arrangement the reg
ular jury cases will be hurried through i'll
about half of the time that it would ordin-
arily require. The reason for this arrange
ment is principally because of desire to
shorten the term so that all of the judges
may be able to get needed vacation after
the adjournment of the term. With the
present four judges of the district court the
proposed plan, it is thought. may be easily
carried cut One of the judges will sit in
the large courtroom, now used for jury
cases, and the other one will occupy the
smaller room in the northeast corner of the
building.
NOW QUINN Is CORONER.
All speculation as to when Dr.. Quinn as
surnes the duties of coroner, will be set at
ease BY the decree filed yesterday with the
clerk of courts by Judge Simens. The de-
cree gives Coroner Quinn immediate pos
session of the office and documents. and
orders Dr.. Markoe to pay the costs and dis
burSements of the action. Nothing is
mentioned in the decree concerning the
fees collected by DR.. Markoe during the
time he had possession of the office, and II
DIR. Quinn wishes to collect them he will be
obliged to begin new suit for the recov-
cry of the same. In his decree. Judge
Simons says that the certificate given to
DR.. Markoe was enormously issued. 1t is
accordingly cancelled, and the auditor is d-
rected to issue similar document to DR..
Quinn. The decree calls for 1854 to be
paid by Dr.. Markoe to DR.. Quinn for costs.
